About Me

Milan Zivkovic headshot

I grove up in the countryside of Serbia's northeast region. Seeking opportunities to forefeel my desire to learn and travel lead me to the University of Novi Sad where I studied Environmental science. Here I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees. While studying I was an active member of the University’s Rowing Crew. We competed at home and abroad representing our University. In my second year of PhD studies, I decided to move to the USA which is my home ever since. Right now, I am on a quest of mastering new software developers skills and finding a suitable position in the tech industry.
